favorite是形容词，意为“最喜欢的，最喜爱的”，相当于like … best。如：
Her favorite fruit is strawberries.
= She likes strawberries best.
她最喜欢的水果是草莓。
favorite前面常为形容词性物主代词或名词所有格。如：
Her / Linda’s favorite color is yellow.
她（琳达）最喜欢的颜色是黄色。
favorite还可作可数名词，意为“特别喜爱的人或事物”。如：
Jackie Chan is my favorite.
成龙是我最喜欢的明星。

3. Chinese
作名词，有以下几种含义：

useful是形容词，是由“名词use (使用) +后缀ful”构成，意为“有用的”。类似结构还有：
help + ful → helpful 有帮助的
color + ful → colorful 绚丽多彩的
[注意] useful是虽以元音字母“u”开头，但其发音为辅音/ju:/，故其前用冠词a，而不用an。如：

3. It is difficult but interesting…
interesting / funny
interesting adj. 有意思的；有吸引力的 (指引起理性的或智慧的兴趣)

我们从星期一到星期五去上学。
33

他早餐吃了一个鸡蛋和一些面包。然后就上学去了。
5. My classes finish at 1:50, but after that I have an art lesson for two hours.

lesson 用作名词，意为“课；课程”。
常用短语：
